Sang

Famous quotes containing the word sang:

    “When cups went round at close of day
    Is not that how good stories run?
    The gods were sitting at the board
    In their great house at Slievenamon.
    They sang a drowsy song, or snored,
    For all were full of wine and meat.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Grandfather sang it under the gallows:
    “Hear, gentlemen, ladies, and all mankind:
    Money is good and a girl might be better,
    But good strong blows are delights to the mind.”
    There, standing on the cart,
    He sang it from his heart.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “I sang as one
    Who on a tilting deck sings
    To keep men’s courage up, though the wake hangs
    That shall cut off their sun.”
    —Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
